Woytuk created the sculptures at his foundry in Thailand, where he now lives. Some of the pieces took him as long as a year and a half to create. This exhibit shows 30 years of his work and it’s all about fun.

“Some laughter and some good feeling for everybody and we’re really happy New York is letting us do this,” William Morrison of The Morrison Gallery said.

You can learn more about each piece through audio tours in English and Spanish. You just call the number on your cellphone and the artist will tell you about each particular sculpture.

While you’ll see a lot of animals and fruit in the exhibit, Woytuk said there is no particular theme, just a very simple goal.

“If somebody can walk away thinking about something and take something with them and smile, then I feel I’ve done my job,” Woytuk said.

If you fall in love with any of the sculptures, the price tags range from a few hundred thousand for the smaller pieces to more than $1 million for the elephants. Or you can just enjoy them for free.

The exhibit costs about $500,000 to install and is covered by the Morrison Gallery, which displays Woytuk’s work. The sculptures will be up through April.
